look at Spivey Creek TN today. The Nolichucky at 16,000 should clue people into possiblities in
the watershed. In just the few roadside stops i saw numerous ten foot drops, a clean thirty
footer, and a potentially runnable fifty footer. I uuess this one is the Spivey Falls listed on
maps of the area. Probably the creek was too high for most of the day, i saw it after 5 PM today
and it looked to be a perfect level. There were many more drops and gradient that i couldn't see.
The few i did look at were serious video quality big ones similar to N. Fork Catawba."
Looks like this suckah drops at at least 300 ft/mile in that short stretch. Careful,
boyz'n'gurls!
